Power beamforming enables the eNodeB to adjust phases and amplitudes based on beam
weights in massive MIMO scenarios. With this function, the eNodeB calculates the weight
for each RF channel of the AAU. It then allocates transmit power to each RF channel
based on the amplitude corresponding to the weight, improving the channel power
efficiency.
SectorSplitGroup MO: The following parameters must be set to the same values for cells
in a given sector split group:
Cell.DlBandWidth and Cell.UlBandWidth
Cell.DlEarfcn, Cell.UlEarfcn, and Cell.UlEarfcnCfgInd
Cell.TxRxMode
Cell.CrsPortNum
Cell.CPRICompression
Cell.CustomizedBandWidthCfgInd, Cell.CustomizedULBandWidth, and
Cell.CustomizedDLBandWidth
SectorSplitCell MO
A specific beam template ID is designed for each sector split cell and each cell
corresponds to one beam.
The CellBeamIndex parameter specifies the beam index of each sector split cell.
The CellBeamTilt parameter specifies the beam tilt of a sector split cell.
The bCellBeamAzimuthOffsetb parameter specifies the horizontal beam azimuth
offset of a sector split cell.
Each sector split cell is associated with a Cell MO, which is used to configure cell-
related parameters, such as CrsPortNum and TxRxMode.
In ALM-29243 alarm information, the value of the Specific Problem parameter is Antenna
channel exceptions. The number of functional antennas can be identified based on the
values of the TX Channel Numbers In The Cell and RX Channel Numbers In The Cell
parameters.
If the serving cell meets the following conditions, the eNodeB initiates intra-frequency
handover measurements for UEs involved in new accesses, incoming handovers, or RRC
connection reestablishment of the serving cell.
The downlink PRB usage exceeds the value of the CellVMS.VmsPrbLoadTh
parameter.
The downlink PRB usage difference between the serving cell and an intra-AAU
neighboring cell exceeds the value of the CellVMS.VmsPrbDiffTh parameter.
If both of the following conditions are met, the eNodeB performs an intra-frequency
handover for the UEs in the serving cell. The maximum number of UEs that can be handed
over out of the serving cell within 10 seconds is specified by the
CellVMS.VmsHoUeNumTh parameter.
Intra-frequency handover event A3 is triggered. The offset for triggering intra-
frequency handover event A3 is equal to the value of the
IntraFreqHoGroup.IntraFreqHoA3Offset parameter subtracted by the value of
the CellVMS.VmsA3Offset parameter.
The PRB usage is greater than 2%.
The values of the following parameters for cells in the same SectorSplitGroup MO must
be the same:
Uplink and downlink bandwidths: Cell.DlBandWidth and Cell.UlBandWidth
Uplink and downlink frequencies: Cell.DlEarfcn, Cell.UlEarfcn, and
Cell.UlEarfcnCfgInd
Cell TX and RX mode: Cell.TxRxMode
Number of CRS ports: Cell.CrsPortNum
CPRI compression mode: Cell.CPRICompression
Customized bandwidth configuration: Cell.CustomizedBandWidthCfgInd,
Cell.CustomizedULBandWidth, and Cell.CustomizedDLBandWidth
TM4 Weight Scheme: The default value is DEFAULT_MODE. When the AAU5711a is
deployed:
If the SectorSplitGroup.BeamTemplateId parameter is set to 2 or 3 and the
SectorSplitGroup.BeamDeploymentMode parameter is set to MODE_1, you can
set the SectorSplitGroup.TM4WeightScheme parameter to
COVERAGE_MODE_2 to improve coverage. In this case, the
SectorSplitCell.CellBeamTilt parameter is valid.
If the SectorSplitGroup.BeamTemplateId parameter is set to 4 and the
SectorSplitGroup.BeamDeploymentMode parameter is set to MODE_2, you can
set the SectorSplitGroup.TM4WeightScheme parameter to
COVERAGE_MODE_1 to improve coverage. In this case, the optimal gain is
expected to be obtained, but the SectorSplitCell.CellBeamTilt parameter is
invalid. You can also set the SectorSplitGroup.TM4WeightScheme parameter to
COVERAGE_MODE_2. In this case, the SectorSplitCell.CellBeamTilt parameter
is valid.
Cell Beam Azimuth Offset:
When deploying the AAU5711 or AAU5711a, you are advised to set this parameter
to a value within [–10, 10].
This parameter is invalid when the MM_INTELLIGENT_BEAM_SHAPING_SW
option of the SectorSplitGroup.SectorSplitSwitch parameter is selected.

In the weight file of SSB, the beam direction and beamwidth are fixed. When UE
distributions vary greatly, using these fixed beam parameters may fail to obtain the optimal
gain. Therefore, intelligent beam shaping is introduced.
Intelligent beam shaping obtains UE distribution information through SRS measurement.
Therefore, SRS-related parameters need to be configured.
Analyze the ratio by which the UE-perceived rate improves for given traffic. It is
recommended that the scatter chart regarding UE throughput and traffic be used to
compare the curves before and after feature activation.
Traffic volume = Sum of the values of the L.Thrp.bits.DL counter for all cells in a
sector split group
UE throughput = (Sum of the values of the L.Thrp.bits.DL counter of all cells in a
sector split group – Sum of the values of the L.Thrp.bits.DL.LastTTI counter of all
cells in a sector split group)/Sum of the values of the L.Thrp.Time.DL.RmvLastTTI
counter of all cells in a sector split group
Analyze the ratio by which traffic increases for a given PRB usage. It is recommended that
the scatter chart regarding PRB usage and traffic be used to compare the curves before
and after feature activation.
Traffic volume = Sum of the values of the L.Thrp.bits.DL counter for all cells in a
sector split group
PRB usage = Average value of PRB usage
(L.ChMeas.PRB.DL.Used.Avg/L.ChMeas.PRB.DL.Avail x 100%) of all cells in a
